Basics of training: Clicker Training and Pressure and Release.
By the end of this session we will have practiced and discussed the following:
What are and how do I use both training methods of “Clicker Training” and “Pressure and Release”?
Do I believe in these training methods? Do I want to use either one or both in my own training?
How do I think through using these methods in new situations? Or new problems that arise? Or new skills I want to train?
Ground work practice: Leading/Liberty Leading, ground tying, bridling, lining up (and standing still) at the mounting block
Riding practice: Straightness vs bending. Steering. Changes of gait.
What initial cue am I giving?
Am I using pressure on purpose or accidentally?
Is my pressure and release communicating what I want?
What to do when it’s not working?
